The melted chocolate warms my tongue
Slides down my gullet – like a velvet glove
Or a tender kiss
Rich and delicious – satiating for body and mind
It is not as awakening as vanilla creme but still, it is a comfort
Perhaps it can also be grated over another dessert
Marshmallows, ice creams, rhubarb crumble or rice pudding
Even the thought of sugary delights
Makes me feel drowsy – like a fattened bee
Returning to the hive
Perhaps that is the magic of enjoying food –
When you feel rooted and fortunate enough to bring it into your own home
And enjoy a little sweetness in every day life.
